Dale-street PROSPECTUS. This Company was formed in June, 1873, for'the purpose of de- veloping and extending the manufacture of Welsh Flannels, Wool.en Goods and Tweeds in Wales, and a sufficient amount of Capital for the immediate requirements of the business was sub- scribed for and paid up by the Directors and their friends in order to prove the soundness of the undertaking, and no further issue of shares has since been made. Subscriptions are now invited for the remainder of the capital of the Company, which, from its non-speculative character, offers a sound and good investment. The operations of the pastsix months have fully borne out the confident antipation of the Directors, and Jave enabled them at once on the machinery actually employed to declare a first divi- dent at the rate of 6 per cent. The demand for the goods mamhactured during this period has been far larger than could be produced, and, notwithstanding every endeavour has been made to increase the amount of ma- chinery employed, several large orders have had to be refused. Accounts have been opened with nearly all the large wholesale houses, and it is only necessary to mentfon that the fabrics, now so well known s aCambrian Serge, Welsh Homespun and Lon- panyy Shawls, have been manufactured solely by this Com. pany. havp6>S>1'0win^ Testimonial, selected from several letters which — »»-«•> ■>' ">* From Messrs MARSIIAU, & SNELGROVE, Vere-street and Oxford-street, London, W., Dear Sire. 23rd December, 1873. ahe success we have had during "Cambrian Serges"should be a^,nf?„P few months with your to push their Manufactures in for/our Coin'^ny Goods suitable for Ladies' anS Ch fdr^0"011' w mflkin: j»U »o, ,M. ,o .upn^crar *c- tlty.

It is necessary, in order to anticipate the large demand which has sprung up, to further develope and increase the production for which purpose it is proposed to issue the remainder of the capital, and enable some considerable extensions to be inaue in the works. The calculations show that as soon as th« works are in full operation, a certain dividend of from 10 to If per cent, may be rqlied upon. The business of the Company is carried en entirely on the principle of "piece work," with percentages on the actual profits ade in each department.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY P- 1874.…
MONDAY, FEBRUARY P- 1874. THE HAUNTED CANDJ/DATE. Mr. GIFFARD has become almost as imaginative as his Mentor and organ, the Tory print. A more striking instance of the remodelling influence of companionship and association cannot be dis- covered. Hitherto, Mr. GIFFARD has been practi- cal and prosaic, with no soul aboe, briefs and refreshers and Old Bailey experiences, unless when denouncing Ireland and the Irish and then he ,eached the sublimity of invention as well as of invective. But now his imaginatioa soars on tire- less wing into the regions of pure romance, where he disports himself in feats of invention as mar- vellous as those of "The Thousand and One Nights." Mr. GIFFARD believes that he is haunted by Liberal bogies, who dog his every footstep puccue him like sleuth hounds in all the tortuoug windings of his election policy relentlessly track him -into his innermost haunts, and squat like nightoares in his secret chamber and then wickedly publish his biography for the.delectation and asausement of Cardiff Radicals. How the animal eats, how he drinks, how he sleeps, Is all noted down by these Boswells so s Mr. GIFFARD told the pitiful tale to his sympathis- ing friends at Roath on Friday night. He desired to assure the Roath Tories that he was not about to run away. He should certainly be away all next Wednesday—and that was the day before the Cardiff election—but he would positively come back to the friends of his love. He would be as faithful to them as Mrs. MICAWBER was to the husband of her heart. He would never desert them no, never. He had been absent from Cardiff for the laet few days, and he found that his opponents had taken advantage of that absence to suggest that he had retired from the contest." He was going away .again on Wednesday, and "he was obliged to tell them of these things became there was someone or other who seemed to be very curious and anxious in watchiny his movments^ and a mysterious rumour would otherwise have been circulated that he had gone away." We can ima.- gine the anxiety and suffering ^r' IIF^RD under the infliction of this Liberal spectre hunt, and his frantic efforts to escape therefrom. In fancy we see him dodging round lamp posts, darting behind cabs, skipping across tram- ways, vanishing around corners, rushing down bye streets, and winding through secret alleys in his breathless endeavour to reach the railway station undetected. There, crouching be- hind piles of luggage, his eye roves with painfnl gaze over every face on the platform, an(* 3Ust a* the train is moving he darts into an empty com- partment, and throws himself heavily into a corner with a bursting sigh of relief. When 1° • the car- riage door is thrown violently open, ancl ln stalks a Liberal bogie, who glares on Mr. GIFFARD with such a look of fascinating horror as that by which the "Ancient Mariner" held speH-bouud- the wedding guest. Oh! it is terrible. We sympathise with Mr. GIFFARD with sorrow urfeigiied be- j cause his malady, although purely inia-inary to others, is frightfully real to himself. He Relieves in his ghost, and that he is a doomed and haunted man. We have read and heard of similar cases of "possession" before. One recorded we think in the Diary of a Late Physician," is that of a patient who believed that he. was constantly pursued by a trunkless head, whose wide, lustreleste, horror-stricken, unwinkinS eyes for ever glared upon the unhappY man, It is useless to reason with the victims of such fearful fantasies. The ghost possessed hug their nightmares and believe them reality. We had certainly casually heard of ]Vlr,^IFFARi> s absence from Cardiff i-the omission of his scolding flippancies from the columns of the BUTE journal revealed the fact to all who cared to know it ;-but we never heard a whisper that he had retired from the contest. The general belief was that he had gone to prosecute some poor unhappy Fenian either at Clerkenwell Police Court, or Swansea or Manchester. We are glad to learn from Mr. GIFFARD'S own lips that this was not the cause of his absence this time, hut that his "quest" was more "constitutional" and less sanguinary. We are pleased, too, to be a e to congratulate him upon the fact- which he has kindly announced—that his successful pursuit in his profession has enabled him to acquire property in Marylebone and the city of London, in Glamorganshire and Carmarthenshire an(^ ^at while courting the suffrages of Cardiff Irish e ec ors he has been enabled to abstain for a while from the prosecution of Fenians and the vilificttiondf Irishmen.
THE CARDIGANSHIRE ELECTION-
THE CARDIGANSHIRE ELECTION- Cardiganshire Squiredem is in arms from the Teifi to the Ystwith, and from the collegiate town of Lampeter to the pleasant seaport of Aberayron. The mustering of their forces proceeds briskly, and tenants are coaxed, urged, and threatened to 0 dO vote for the Tory candidate. Of that candi- date nothing is known politically, save that he is the son of his father, and calltf himself a Libera Conservative. The late Mr. THOMAS LLOYD, 0 Coedmore, was something more Liberal than a Conservative while his son, who up to this time :r has been an unknown and colourless politician) now throws himself into the arms of the Tories. He has no claim, therefore, upon the sympathies of his father's political friends, while his apostacy from the quiet Liberal traditions of his house should earn for him their sternest political oppo- sition. Of Mr. LLOYD personally, nothing is known outside his own tenantry, and that nothing, as we understand, is not specially favourable while his qualifications to represent any constituency are of the very faintest. Indeed, had he possessed the most elementary of the quali- fications which men generally seek for in a member of Parliament, he would never have be- come the dupe of the Cardiganshire Tory Squire- archy and the.Tory nominee ofthe Carlton club- But Cardiganshire Tories, destitute of a competent leader from amongst t!:e devotees of the old super- stition, have flocked in their strength around the Liberal Conservative banner of Mr. THOMAS EDWARD LLOYD, and places in the van of their own host a man to whom they owe no political allegiance and pay no respect. The Liberals will resist this fiercfe Tory onset, with its altered tatics, with the same unflinching resolution, and the same as- surance of victory, as when. they hurled back more disciplined forces and vanquished a better party leader, in the person of Mr. Vaughan, in the contest of 1868. The humiliation, as they deem it, of the Cardiganshire Squirearchy in being re- presented by a Swansea commercial man, has aroused within them a passionate political and personal hate, and the most frantic efforts are being made to defeat the Liberal candidate. But, accord- ing to the most trustworthy reports we receive from thecounty, theJLiberal victory is ensured. Mr. EVAN MATEHEW RICHARDS has proved himself a political enemy to be feared, as well as a foe to be respected, and the numerous small freeholders of Cardigan- shire—Liberal to the backbone—are as indepen- dent of the "lordly houses" as they are indif ferent to clerical threats. The tenants, too, have now a shield and defence which they did not possess in former political contests, and can defy the power of farm bailiffs, stewards, and agents with a jeyous feeling of security. Safe under the protection of the ballot, they will now avenge themselv.06 for the cruel evictions committed by those tyrannous Squires after the election of 18G8. Defeated thoroughly again, as defeated they will be—according to every report we receive from the country from Llandyssil and Cardigan to Aber- ystwith—these "little tyrants of the fields" in Cardiganshire hills and valleys will never risk a future encounter. It should stimulate Cardigan- shire Liberals, therefore, to redoubled and most de- termined effort, when they remember that they are not merely fighting for present victory, but for their future political liberty and quiet. The victory for Liberalism won now, if it be decisive and com- plete, will be like the glorious fight of Worcester to CROMWELL, a ,crowning victory." Teifi side: Toryism will not lift up its head more, and the political freedom of the county will be achieved, The robust Liberalism of Cardiganshire will, we believe, prove as sterling to principle, as undaunted and as unyielding as it did in the bitter conflict of 18G8. It then fought against all odds, not only against the "lordly houses" and the combined and concentrated strength of the squires, but under all the risks and dangers of open voting, and it came out of that fierce struggle victorious. It has now no risks, no future dangers to dread. The Ballot now shields the dependent voter from (Jle evictions and the persecutions of his cowardly foe. The poison fang of Toryism has been ex- tracted by the Ballot, and it can work its mis- chievous will upon dependent tenants no longer. Henceforth every man is independent of every other man in the exercise of his franchise, for no man.can now know how another man votes. Let the voter only keep his own counsel, and no power on earth can detect how he voted. Land- lords and agents, and farm bailiffs .and clergymen, will be all foiled in the attempt. The presiding officer cannot tell, the returning officer is equally ignorant, only let the voter keep his own secret, and no man or body of men can ever discover it. This is conclusively shown in an article on the Ballpt in another column, which we commend to the attention of our readers throughout the South Wales counties. We have the fullest confidence that Cardigan- shire Liberalism will, in the struggle of to-morrow, achieve another glorious victory that it will not prove recreant to the fame and the widespread re- putation it won by its gallant fight in 1868. The sturdy Nonconformist principle is instinct with life and vigour amid those Welsh hills the manly spirit of independence which vindicated itself so triumphantly fiye years ago confronts the foe to- day with the same un quailing courage as then; that love of freedom an.1 that earnest devotion to principle which inspired the Liberal conflict in 1868 burns still with the same pure fire. and shall Cardiganshire Liberals flee before that Tory array which they drove back and scattered so ingloriously five years ago? Let them, and let the Dissenters of Cardiganshire especially, remember the wanton insults and the foul slanders which have been poured upon themselves, and upon their county by the Tory press let it not be forgotten by them that Mr. LLOYD is the nominee of the Carlton Club the elect of Teifi side Toryism, and of the Bute print; let the recollection of the insults and the scandals they have endured from Toryism and the Tory journal nlrve their arm with fuller vigour in the present struggle and in returning Mr. RICHARDS by a decisive majority they will vindicate once more their own independence and the honor of their county.
THE SHELTER OF THE BALLOT.|
THE SHELTER OF THE BALLOT. A respected correspondent, whose name if pub- lished would accredit him to our numerous readers as one of the truest and noblest-hearted Liberals in Wales, suggests that we should do good service to the cause of Libe-alism, in the South Wales elections are pending, by show- ing uUvu under [,:1<) Ballot the tenant is securely protected against :i action on the part of the land- lord or tiU landlord s agent. But surely the agents of the different Liberal candidates have taken especial care abundantly to do this. To suppose that they have not would imply a neglect of duty so serious and reprehensible as is simply impossible. Still "precept upon precept" is a fliaxim fraught with wisdom and policy, and as other correspondents have also urged the matter upon our attention, we will with pleasure accept the "suggestion" of our present correspondent- An examination of the Parliamentary and Municipal Elections Act" will soon convince the most cursory reader that the protection which the Ballot throws around the voter is impenetrable, and that the secret of the Ballot can never be dis- covered- We are aware that in the Carmart en county the Tory Agents are industriously CIrcu- lating amongst dependent tenants false statements that should they vote against their lane or s oi landlords' agents, their votes can be traced, inas- much as the remitter number of the v^ter id placed on his Ballot paper. This is an absolute hood. The register number is NOT placed en the Ballot paper, as we shall presently show. Sir IVoii GUEST, the Tory candidate for Glamorgan was more truthful and honest w en he aclai0 ledged at Bridgend last week that" under the Ballot the utmost secresy was insured, aiul that there'could be no tampering with theVotes ->■ ,n that "itwas a sovereign remedy agajllsj. j- of the blackest kin<l—that of coerci„n.„ torted confession of the lory, SirIVoR ar °X~ true to the ietter, as the follow^ brJe^ 18 of thispart of the Act will show. e*P°sition After the voter has entered the polling place and given his name, he receives from the presiding officer aballot paper which is torn off from a counter- h (J.iJ. rom a. counter- foil in a kind of cheque book. On the ballbt paper there is impressed at the time by the piJdfng officer a secret mark. This secret mark has no reference whatever to the vote or voter.' It is used simply to show that all the ballot papers so marked, are genuine and were given out by the presiding officer. It shows nothing but this, and can show nothing but this. On the counterfoil, and on the counterfoil only—not on the ballot paper-the register number of the voter is marked, and the number ticked, off on tho copy of the register. The voter having received his ballot paper goes into a private compartment, by himself alone, and there puts a cross against the name of the candidate for whom he votes. He then folds up the ballot paper with the names of the candidates and the mark which he had put against one of them, inside—and folded so as to exhibic on the outside the private mark put by the presid- ingofficer, He then shows the folded paper and the private mark to the presiding officer so tha. he might know it to be the same paper he had given to the voter, The voter himself then puts the ballot paper into the Ballot box. So far, then, alibis strictly secret. Unless the ballot paper which is now in the ballot box, the counterfoil which is in the cheque book, aim the marked copy of the register can he brought together so as to compare the three, it will xever be possible to trace out the voter. Let us see, can this ever ) e done Suppose the election to be for the county of Carmarthen at the close of the poll, at five o'clock, the presiding officer, in the presence of the agents ofthe different candidates, is to make up into separate packets, sealed with his own seal and the seals of the agents of the candidates, the ballot box, and the marked copies of the register, and the counterfoils of the ballot papers. These, as provided by the 29th rule of the schedule of the Ballot Act, are to be marie up inb and sealed by the presiding officer and the agents of the different candidates. The parcels thus securely sealed are fiorwarded to the returning officer —in the case supposed he will ue the High, Sheriff, atOarmar Jien. What does he Jo IV lth theH I So far as the packets of the counterfoils and of the marked copies of the register is concerned— nothing, absolutely nothing. The seals of tnese packets must remain unbroken nu oua d(Lres break them under a heavy penalty. Thi" is pro- vided for by the 37th rule of the fit Pchedule. The only packet opened is the Ballot box. All the ballot boxes from all th; districts are opened by the returning officer in the presence of the agents of the candidates, and the ,baHofc papers being all thoroughly mixed together ti)e returning officer proceeds to count the votes given for each candidate. But the ballot papers have no marks 011 them to show how any voter, j voted. before this can be shown, as we have already stated, the counterfoils and the marked, registers will have to be compared with the ballot papers. But these counterfoils and copies of registers a.re securely sealed up under the seals of the presiding officer and the agents of the candidates, and neither the returning officer nbr any one else can break the seals. After the votes have been counted the ballot papers are sealed up by the returning officer, and with the seals of the agents of the different candidates. The packets are then all sent to the Clerk of the Crown, who keeps them under seal for twelve months, and then, without breaking the seals, causes them to be destroyed. It is evident, therefore, that the secrecy of the Ballot is in- violable. No man, or set of men, by any trick, or scheme, or device, can ever discover how any voter voted, if the voter will only keep his own counsel. But not only is it utterly impossible to tell how any voter voted, it is equally impossible to find out for what particular candidate a majority of votes was given in any district. There are cases in which a large landholder may own the land of a whole district in which there is a polling place, and if the votes were reckoned in the district, although it would not then be possible to discover how any man voted, it would be possible to show that the majority of the tenants voted for or against the nominee of their landlord. But the votes are notrecko ned in 'the district; and' Earl CAWDOR, for instance, will not be able to learn whether a majority of his tenants at Newcastle Emlyn or about Llandilo, voted for JONES and EMLYN or for SART ORIS and POWELL. Because it is specially provided by the 34th rule of the 1st schedule of the Ballot Act that "before the returning officer proceeds to count the votes he shall, in the presence of the agents of the candidates, open each ballot, box, and taking out the papers therein shall mix together the whole of the ballot papers contained in the ballot boxes." It cannot be too frequently repeated the ballot papers from every district must be all thoroughly and indiscriminately mixed together into one mass before the returning officer proceeds to count them. So that it is 'utterly impossible to discover in what district any candidate had a majority of. votes. The tenants are thus safely protected from landlord and land- lord's agent, not merely individually but col- lectively, while the vote is absolutely secret and impossible to be discovered if the voter will only keep his own secret.

-=-- (FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT.) LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING. One feels to-day as a civilian, who had a large military acquaintance might feel, when after a pitched battle he came to read the list of killed. I find friend after friend among the slain. I remember two political dinner parties in Belgravia not long ago, and all the M. P. s then present, including the host, are down among the dead men, except three only, and of these three one had the good fortune to be unopposed. But politics, happily, are not exactly like war. One may have social relations with both parties and by way of contrast, I remember a Conservative dinner party in Park-lane, at which all the M.P. guests there present have now been returned save two, and tliev, there is little doubt, will be f. -elcftcd, though they have some severe contests before them. Such is the fortune of war. When will the Liberal reaction set in, aud the victors of to-day be vanquished, the conquerors be overthrown ? „ Among the many causes which have conduced to the X Liberal overthrow, must be eckoned the transfer of the ■ Roman Catholic vote in many constituencies to the Con- f ^ervative enndidatee. This was the case in Plymouth and In many of the Lancashire towns. The Roman Catholics driven into the Opposition camp by the educational of the Protestant Dissenters. It is likely too did a 6 recent Bismarckian meeting at St. James's Halt Xowde^at^ estrange the Papists, for though Mr. HI t E 18 a Conservative, and Sir Robert Peel can 'J j f. a Liberal, two such notabla leaders /■id T,'irl Russell*^ *n ^kurcli and State, as Dean Stanley pathy with the m^UDhapi,ily e*Pressed their sym" J hear °n good authority that had Mr. Gladstone re- main oi mo ce, is intention was to merge all the various Inland Revenue and taxation-offices into one great depart. ment, placing over it a fficer and it is said that Mr Childers was to have had the first appointment. It will easily be seen how seriously the presence of Mr. Childers as Controller of the Revenue would have affected the little extravagances into which Mr. Disraeli's friends are liable to fall, and how Sore a nail in the flefeh he would have been to the Conservatives all the while they held the office. Mr. Gladstone loses the power to appoint him, however; and we might have witnessed the spectacle of a Tory Adniinistratiou economi- cal in spite of itself; bringing in budgets with swingeing | surpluses, without having the slightest intention of doing | so, but simply because they were forced to their duty bv: t the permanent head of the Taxation Department, t It is now asserted, just when the news is a trifle too late, that if Mr. Stone had been returned for Portsmouth, and the Liberal Government had retained office, two pro- visions which have been somewhat rudely swept away, Mr. Stone would have been the Under Secretary of State for the Home Department. Had the Income-tax been abolished a very consider- I able reduction would have been made in the numbers of the in the Inland Revenue, and a re-ar- rangement in all the offices of that department. It is probable, were the scheme carried'out. that Mr. Lomax, the tax secretary, would retire, as he has been for some time in delicate health, and that the system of joint secretaries would be abolished. Would one chief secretary with two assistants—one for the scamps, the other for excise be able to do the work ? Very possibly, too, Mr. William Rossetti would retire also, as well as Mr. Prendergast; the former being a man of literary taste and ability. In the offices of the Ac- jounti.nt-General, the storekeeper's v/ork could be taken and the two presided over by the Storekeeper-General with two assistants. The office of Special Commissioner of Incornc lax would, of course, go and it is added that considerable reductions would, be made in the number of surveyors of taxes moreover, that a branch of the Law Department would be done away with. As if we have not had sufficient by issues during the elections, the Rtiihi't' Scrvice Gazette regrets that the cry of Free Railways, i.e. of the State purchase of railways, was not raised. That, however, is a policy for which the people are not yet sufficiently educated, as the Gazette admits. By the way, Mr. Chamberlain was one of the favourite candidates of the railway employes, and they will greatly regret his defeat, The Russians are about to send a scientific exp edition to j the Amou-Darya, and the Graud-Duke Nicolas Constan- II tinovitch is going to accompany it.

ftB»uL,T OF Tills ELiSUTiUJN £ >. Reviewing the result of the elections, the Saturday Review remarks Of the general character of this result there is nO doubt. The whole of Mr. Gladstone's majority is already g ne, and the only question is what majority the Conservatives wUl have to start with. If they have a f a eauctmg losses, of ten seats beyond what was necessary to destroy the pre-existing Liberal ma- ,1 1 have 1uite enough strength .to I. SI 1 STmeilt of the country in a, then have satl.sfactory manner. They would maioril-v w maJ01'ity of twenty, and their Con«iPrvn+1. a singularly compact kind. The trnp +1 i iles w*'l v°te together like a machine. It is r-. _„fll 'here are two singular beings who have been l| HJ rned as Conservative Home Rulers, Mr. Ha»aond at wcastlt, and Sir Joseph McKenna at Youihal.. A Con- servative Home Ruler is like a Protestant Jesuit, for if a Conservative will not conserve the integrity ot the empire, what on earth would he conserve ? But even these speckled sheep may be trusted to go gently enough. with the rest of the flock.. And the consciousness that they have the English constituencies with them will give a merited confidence to thtf Conservative leaders. Even in the last Parliament they were on an equality with a merited confidence to th Conservative leaders. Even in the last Parliament they were on an equality with their opponents in the English constituencies taken as a whole, but this was becau39 of their permanent preponde- rance in the counties. Now they have the boroughs with them. It is not in one district or in one class of boroughs that they have gained. They have carried their candidates in boroughs in the ^vest, in boroughs iu the East, in Metropolitan borougns, m yreat youshern constituencies like Plymouth, Portsmouth, Devouport, and Brighton, in big Northern boroughs like Manchester and Newcastle. Much the greatest loss is that of Mr. Fawcett, who con- stantly exhibited tae curious spectacle of an independent Liberal who was independent, not because he was bitten with a crotchet, but because he thought out the sub jects on which he spoke. Every wind, however, blows somebody Rood, the clique of minor Ministerial officials will find in the rejection, of Mr. Fawcett at Brighton the only comfort earth could give them for being turned out of oifice. The moderate Liberals of the new M TW"1" regret the absence of Mr. Hughes and Mr. Morrison, and the 'adies have had to weep over the fallen fortunes of their angel and apostle the great and indomitable Jacob Bright. But, as a rule, the constituencies have proved faithful to men of mark. Even that superior person Mr. Horsman has escaped from destruction by the skin of his teeth at Liskeard. But of all the results of the poll none has been received with such univerJal satisfaction as that of Bradford, when it was found that Ir, Forster had not been sacrificed for a miserable outburst of sectarian spite, and that in a stronghold of the sourest Nonconformists m there was still left enough of gratitude and. self-respect to uphold a stati.'«man in the paths of liberality and courage. The exclusiau of Mr. Fawcett at Brighton is, perhaps, says the Spectator, the greatest personal loss which the House of Commons has as yet suffered. And it is little indeed to the credit of Brighton that he should be, as he is, at the very bottom of the poll, more than twelve hundred votes behind the leading Conservative, Mr. A.shbnry, who. is chiefly known for his wealth, his yachts, and the lime- light he exhibits from his yacht at night to the delighted Brightonian3. Mr. Fawcett was the most-truly independent member of the last Parliament. He never shrank from defending unpopular economical principles when he thought them true, and expiessed his not uufrequent difference from the Government wish force, but without adopting the strategy of the candid friend." Though we- thought him utterly wrong ou the Irish University ques- tion, aud one or two other*, and do not enter into hi* en- thusiasm for women's sunrage We sincerely lament the ob- tnseness of the constituency which could place sucha at the bottom of the poll, Disraeli has a good chance of realisin" for himself the aspiration which he seems to have admired when it was expressed by Count Bismarck— to "et rid of the political lnttuenca of the Professors. Mr. Fawcett, however, like the present Postmaster-Generalr a professor, and something more unfortunately Brighton is Dot so keen to appreciate ability of this kind as the f University of Edinburgh. The Economist tuus comments on the same topio. We are disposed to think, quite apart from any paTty ques- tions that the non-return of Mr. Fawcett, at Brighton, is one of the most lamentable results of the present election. Mr Fawcett, though a Radical politician of a rather ex- treme type, had also the merit of being a thorough student and writer on political economy, of which, as a science, there is little enough knowledge in the House of ComJPOM and the powers of discussion he could bring to bear on economical subjects, will, consequently^ be greatly missed. The mastery he displayed on all oPJøs con- nected with India and Indian finance is only an instance of the various ability in the field of political economy wlch lie possessed. As he united to his other qualifications i >erfect independence and frankness in stating his views, it the constant risk of offending his own radical, sup- porters, his merits were altogether of so rare a descoption that perhaps few members of the House could be less easily spared. We need hardly tell our readers that we nave often had occasion. to disagree with him, but on benaii of a public interested in the study of political economy, we j feel bound to express our regret that so able an inaepeni T dent an expositor, whatever his faults may have been,, «aa> dent an expositor, whatever his faults may have beeD" hao. been lost to Parliament, even for a single Session, JS i
